About Somex Rohstoffhandel
Somex Rohstoffhandel GmbH was founded in 1988 and is a medium-sized trading company headquartered in Sulzbach-Rosenberg (Upper Palatinate) with a further location in Zwickau. The company supplies foundries and steel mills with foundry coke (grain sizes 60, 80 and 100 mm and more), pig iron of all quality grades, and all ferro-alloy elements. In addition, the product range includes cleanly processed, single-variety scrap in foundry and steel mill grades – from cupola furnace scrap to rails and punched sheet waste through to heavy industrial and demolition scrap. Scrap processing is carried out by recycling companies on site. In addition, Somex markets steel surplus stock (sheets, structural steel, tubes) as well as non-ferrous metal scraps such as copper, aluminium and brass via a network of leading recovery companies, primarily in southern Germany. The team is active nationally and internationally in trading and sales.
